Chapter 9 It was him?

Du Ruo smiled happily and said, "I bought a stone for fifty yuan, and luckily I found this jadeite."

Old Yang's eyes widened. He asked, "Girl, where did you buy the stone? Tell me quickly so I can try it, too."

Du Ruo smiled and said, "How can we wait for you? All the stones on that stall were snatched away that day."

Old Yang sighed and regretted that his life was so miserable. Why could he never catch up?

He asked Du Ruo, "My dear friend, do you want to even out this piece of jade?"

Du Ruo said: "Of course not, I came to borrow a carving knife."

Old Yang was really surprised. When it comes to a master like Du Ruo, who doesn't have some quirks? Especially the carving knife in his hand, he is so familiar with it that it seems like a part of his body. How can he borrow it from others temporarily?

However, Old Yang didn't ask any more questions. He just gave her the bone knife that Du Ruo had used.

Du Ruo took the carving knife without hesitation. She had to get started quickly as she had to pick up her son in the evening.

Du Ruo was carving very attentively and Old Yang was watching with great interest. The knife seemed to have life in Du Ruo's hand. It was truly a perfect match for a hero.

Old Mrs. Yang walked in quietly and made a gentle gesture. Old Yang understood and tiptoed out.

A moment later, a guest was brought in. He was about thirty years old, wearing a black suit and a blue striped shirt. He had a pair of slightly cold and sharp eyes, and was very imposing. It was obvious at a glance that he was a very powerful person.

There is a subtle arrogance hidden in his strong aura.

The man looked at Du Ruo expressionlessly, with a hint of admiration in his cold eyes.

The golden sunlight shines on the beauty's painted eyebrows and eyes. Her fair and delicate skin is not made up, and her figure is graceful, with a slender waist that can be held in one hand.

In the thin and soft hand, there is a piece of green jade, which is crystal clear and lush. It matches the soft and slender fingers of the beauty, which is so beautiful that it makes people's heart beat fast.

The carving knife on the fingertips seems to have a life, jumping nimbly in the beauty's hands. Every time the blade rubs against the jade, it seems to merge with the beauty's heartbeat and breathing.

There was a hint of eagerness in the man's eyes, but it immediately disappeared.

Du Ruo did not notice other people's gazes. Once she picked up the carving knife, external things became nothing but clouds to her.

She has been accompanied by the carving knife for most of her life. It brings her joy, sorrow, excitement and confusion. A carving knife can soothe all her emotions.

A friend once joked that Du Ruo didn't need a partner at all. The carving knife was her soul partner. In her heart, the carving knife was like King Chao on Mount Liangshan, always sitting firmly on the top golden chair, and no one could shake her status.

Du Ruo was absorbed in carving, while the other two watched and waited quietly. It was not until the afternoon that the small object in her hand gradually took shape.

This is a small artifact with the inscription “Maitreya Bringing Wealth”, which symbolizes abundant wealth. The whole object is crystal clear with smooth lines, just like a work of magic.

Du Ruo put down the carving knife, moved her body, and when she raised her head, she met the man's deep and sharp eyes.

At first glance, she felt a strong aura coming towards her and her heart skipped a beat. This man's eyes were so strange, so deep that it seemed to be able to suppress a person's soul.

Du Ruo couldn't help but look at the man's head out of curiosity. She couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. Oh my god, who is this?

The horizontal line on his head is actually purple-red, and it’s almost generating purple-red mist. Oh my god, which company’s boss is this?

Seeing Du Ruo in a daze, Old Yang introduced him, "This is my cousin, Mr. Yuan."

Then he turned back to Mr. Yuan and said, "This is what I mentioned to you, Ms. Du Ruodu."

Du Ruo raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This way of introduction was not a popular term in the mainland nowadays. Could this Mr. Yuan be a Hong Kong businessman or an overseas Chinese?

Mr. Yuan didn't say much. He looked at Du Ruo and asked directly, "Ms. Du, please give me a price."

Du Ruo smiled and said, "The goods are sold to the right person. Mr. Yuan, please give it to me."

Mr. Yuan took a look at Du Ruo and saw that she had "brows like distant mountains with dark black, eyes like rippling autumn water", skin as white as cream, without any makeup, and her whole body had an elegant and free temperament.

Such demeanor cannot be cultivated in today's environment. It's interesting.

Mr. Yuan gently raised his right hand.

A man who looked like an assistant walked in from outside and gently placed a checkbook and a pen in front of him.

Mr. Yuan casually scratched his checkbook twice, stretched out his hand and threw the pen on the table. He said, "Our Yuan family's jade and antique business is doing well. If Ms. Du has something to sell in the future, she might consider the Yuan family."

The assistant handed the check and a business card to Du Ruo. The golden business card was very simple, with only one line of words and a phone number.

Yuan, Yuan Tingchuan.

It was him?

Du Ruo looked at the business card with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She couldn't help but look at the man's long, straight legs and his thin but strong fingers resting on the back of the chair. He was completely different from the weak man sitting in the wheelchair in her memory.

Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan had met once.

It was at an international jewelry competition, where her work won a gold medal, and the person who presented the award to her was Yuan Tingchuan.

He was very weak, pale, and gasping for breath when he spoke. He said, "I like Ms. Du's works very much. They always contain a trace of vitality, which makes people yearn for them."

Du Ruo glanced at the man's head with a complicated look, and sure enough, there was a hint of black at the edge of the horizontal line stained with purple.

She sighed in her heart, thinking that things in this world are unpredictable and it is not easy for the big guys either.

However, she didn't have to worry about the boss anymore. It was said that the whole family was so scared by the boss that they would scream at the sight of ghosts...

After saying goodbye to Yang's house, Du Ruo put away the carving knife given by Old Yang and planned to go to the bank to cash the check first.

This thing is not reliable when you hold it in your hand. If it is lost, dirty, or damaged, you can't exchange it for money, and there is no way to get a new one.

Just deposit your money in the bank and walk out of the bank with the deposit slip in your pocket. You will feel the air is much fresher.

The boss was very generous. Her piece of jade was now worth at most 20,000 yuan, plus her carving skills, it was only more than 30,000 yuan.

The boss just waved his pen and gave a cash check for fifty thousand. He is indeed a boss and has great generosity.

Du Ruo thought that they could cooperate again in the future.

When you are happy, you should spend money.

It's too late to go to the department store now. Looking at the time, it's two o'clock in the afternoon. Why not go to the farmers' market to buy some vegetables, go home and have a big meal with my son and reward myself? That's it.
